Crazy Days is an annual downtown sales event. It has been
diminishing in importance for the last several years.
Once Lincoln Avenue was full and we are told that
it took several hours to go the length of the street.
Perhaps the leaning "9" is symbolic.
Street sales by the Lundeen company.
Sue admiring goodies at the City Bakery.
Old fashioned rides for the kids.
A local bank buries coins in the straw for those
seeking "buried treasure".
This old movie house sat vacant for some years.
Then a booster donated money for its use as a cultural center.
A theater being razed in Kansas City provided all the
parts for a large pipe organ only lacking the console.
A local man, now living in Fargo as an organ builder,
built the console which rises from the center of the stage.
Right now a summer musical,
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"
is playing with several of our friends in the play.
This woe-be-gone figure stands unmarked as to name
or other pertinent information. Maybe he is thinking
about the decline of Crazy Days.
